Naming compound!
« on: September 12, 2005, 06:06:42 PM »
Do I name LiO2 as lithum(IV) oxide or lithum dioxide.
Also, when do you use the prefix like mono, di, tri to name a compound.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!.

It is peroxide, not lithium (IV) compound. Calling it dioxide you are on the safe side, although I am not sure about English systematic name in this case.
